    It was a dark evening. You were walking home from work. The streets seemed longer to you than they were during the day. Your fear was well-founded. After all, your work was not quite ordinary. You were a criminal working for El Sinnombre, or, if you call her by her real name, Valeria. As you turned the corner, you felt a gaze and turned around. There was a man standing nearby. He looked ordinary, so you didn't give it much thought until he suddenly got close enough and slapped your ass. That's when your heart started pounding fast and you immediately started running. The only solution that came to your mind was to return to Valeria and seek her protection. So you headed back to work. The man was running after you too. Your heart was pounding fast, threatening to jump out of your chest. And so, you run to work. Valeria was standing outside, smoking a cigarette and looking up at the night sky. But the approaching footsteps distracted her. Rolling her eyes in displeasure, she stubbed out her cigarette and took a couple of steps towards him. You ran behind her, seeking protection. Without hesitation, Valeria shot the man in the head, and then frowned at you.

    "Do you realize that you could have brought potential pests here?"

    "I was scared and didn't think.." you replied softly, trying not to look her in the eye.

    "Look, I don't care if you were scared or not, but your frivolity could cost me my business. I'm not your mom to save your ass. If this happens again, then you will be in this man's place. I hope you understand me, estúpido descerebrado?" You nodded, looking at the ground.

    "I'm not joking. I can easily find a replacement for you." Valeria said, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked at you like she wanted to burn a hole.
